Comprehensive sex education programs have been proven to reduce teenage pregnancy rates, yet no federal dollars are invested in these programs. Instead, funding has been poured into Abstinence Only Until Marriage programs, even though there is no evidence these programs work. And, according to a new report from Representative Henry Waxman (D-California), abstinence-only programs present false information about the effectiveness of condoms and the risk of abortion, as well as misinformation on other sexual and reproductive health issues.
Join the Sierra Club in it's efforts to Stop Abstinence Only Sex Ed! Tell your Congressperson to oppose funding for the Abstinence-Only Until Marriage program of the Bush administration.
